Author: Samaras, LucasSince the early 1960s, multimedia artist Lucas Samaras has worked across mediums to advance a Surrealist idiom that departs from the trappings of Abstract Expressionism & Pop art. This volume, conceived & published by Pace Gallery, narrows the scope of Samaras’ oeuvre to focus on his psychedelic digital distortions of flowers. It comprises 110 colour images featuring flora of all kinds: in gardens,, in landfills or superimposed onto kaleidoscopic abstract backgrounds. Over the decades, his interest in self-representation and object transformation has expanded to include experimentations in photography and—beginning in 1996, when he obtained his first computer—digital art.
